Common Applications

HyperBase is designed to enhance existing business processes; this is accomplished through automation, archiving, remote access and robust access permissions. Provided below, you will find a few examples of some of the most common HyperBase applications among our customers.

Lead Tracking System and CRM

Overview

CRM applications are among the most popular SaaS solutions, and perhaps the most common HyperBase application. The lead tracking system is a small scale Customer Relationship Manager with integrated workflow to manage a prospect through a sale cycle and even post purchase through ongoing communication and status updates. Often this HyperBase CRM is integrated with a lead tracking system or a support ticketing system to create a one stop resource for all of your prospect and client interaction.

Challenge

Often businesses approach HyperOffice looking for a system to manage their unique sales cycle. Surprisingly, many of these organizations still rely on physically circulating documents throughout the office or shared spreadsheets to manage their leads. With the pace of business rapidly increasing, electronic automation is not only becoming standard, but essential for the longevity of any business in the digital age.

Solution

A HyperBase Lead Tracking System is designed to automate and streamline an organization’s unique sales cycle. In the most common implementation of a HyperBase Lead Tracking System, the process would be initiated with the lead input, it would then be assigned to a representative internally. Following assignment, the lead would be updated through the stages of the sales cycle and notes would detail its progress until the lead is marked as closed or lost. To increase accountability, management has a searchable master view of the system that allows them to check the status of any lead regardless of status or assignment.

Typical Lead Tracking Process

Lead Input:
With HyperBase the input of leads to initiate the process may be accomplished two ways, the first is through a web form that may exist on your public website or internally that allows for the visitors of your site to input their own information and place requests, the second way is through a spreadsheet import contacting lead contact details. These methods may be used together or independently depending on your desired scenario. Automatic email notifications are often used at this stage as a confirmation for the prospect submission as well as an internal notification of a new lead.

Internal Assignment/Initial Qualification:
Once the lead has been entered into the system it is placed in a list of unassigned leads. From this point, an individual designated to distribute the leads is able to attach notes to the new lead and assign it to a sales or marketing representative internally.

Initial Contact:
Once the lead is assigned to a sales representative, they will receive an email notification to inform them that a new lead exists in his online HyperBase lead list. From this point the representative may work from their list to contact the leads assigned to them and update the leads with applicable notes.

Status Update:
Once the lead is placed in process by the sales representative, HyperBase allows you to automate the sales cycle based entirely on your individual business needs. Notes and status updates may be made at anytime to assist through the sales cycle.

Closed Leads:
Leads remain in the status update list until they are closed by the representative. At this point, the Lead Tracking System may be integrated with a CRM to manage the ongoing relationship with the client.

Support Ticketing System

Overview

The Support Ticketing system has been used to streamline the submission and processing of requests internally within an organization and also as a client ticket system. Typically, the support ticket system is applied within the IT, billing, or client support departments.

Challenge

As support teams struggle to manage internal company and external client requests, it is essential that a strong system is in place to see each request through its completion and document effectively. The management of requests internally within an organization are often initiated through email and managed individually– frequently designated by department. Common examples of these business processes include billing requests, technical support requests and client requests.

Solution

A HyperBase Support Ticket System is designed to automate and streamline a request and follow-up process internally within an organization or department. In its most common implementation, the Support Ticket process would be initiated with the initial request, it would then be assigned to a support representative internally, following this the ticket would be updated through the applicable steps and escalated in necessary, and notes would detail its progress until the lead is marked as resolved. To increase accountability, management has a searchable master view of the system that allows them to check the status of any ticket regardless of status or assignment.

Typical Support Ticket Process

Ticket Input:
With HyperBase the input of a ticket initiates the process may be through a web form that may exist on your public website or internally on a company intranet portal.

Level Assignment/Initial Qualification:
Once the ticket is created, it is placed in a list of new and unassigned tickets. From this point, an individual designated to manage the assignment phase qualifies the ticket, adds notes and assigns it to a Level 1 support representative for follow-up.

Initial Review:
Once the ticket is assigned to a sales representative, they will receive an email notification to inform them that they have been assigned a new ticket and any notes that were attached by their manager would be included as well. From this point the representative may work from their ticket list to work on the leads assigned to them and update them with applicable notes.

Status Updates and Escalation:
Once the ticket is placed in process, HyperBase manages the ticket through status updates and escalation to different levels of support or management. From this stage, much of the status updates and notation occurs.

Closed Tickets:
Once a ticket is marked as closed it is transferred into a searchable list of closed tickets. At this point, the Support Ticket System may be integrated with a CRM to manage the ongoing relationship with the client.
